Newly constructed by Brinnin Homes, three-bedroomed Spencer Mews graces the landscape overlooking Hudson Park. As part of a small collection of houses designed by Extend Architects, this property falls under the A2-rating and is situated not far from Spencer Villas in Glenageary. The property is presented to the market with a price tag of €1.85 million, courtesy of Sherry FitzGerald.
Built in the modernist design, Spencer Mews is a 189 square metre (2,034 square foot) south-facing property. Integral to the design is a cubic kitchen extending from the main structure. The home is flooded with natural light, thanks to an extensive use of glass walls on the lower level.
Access to the property is via electronically controlled gates, leading to a two-car driveway.
The house offers two separate living areas – the first features a custom-built media unit in oiled oak, accompanied by wide-glazed windows and large porcelain terrazzo tiles, bearing underfloor heating.
A study brimming with shelves and a cloakroom separate this living room from the second one. It also holds a shower room and a utility room, stocked with a washing machine, a tumble dryer, and a pre-installed full-height freezer.
This part of the house stands out with its double-height panelling. An oak-based hub leads to the second living room, equipped with a sliding pocket door to cut it off from the open-plan area if necessary.
The maintenance-free garden at the front of the house offers complete privacy with wooden screening and old granite walls. With its large windows, this property is ideal for soaking up the sunlight.
The kitchen possesses a generously sized layout and is exceptionally equipped, featuring a sizable island with a downdraft extractor fixed within the hob. Additional appliances are of Siemens brand, while dazzling quartz stone comprises the worktops, partnered with a Quooker tap adorning the sink. The cabinets are all constructed from oak and a spacious larder boasts the feature of offering visibility or privacy of its contents, an option made possible by the sleek sliding recessed doors, a challenging task indeed, even for a skilled joiner.
At the heart of the residence, oak stairs seemingly levitate, paired with an oak handrail and glass barrier, all illuminated from above via a streamlined glazed rooflight, and the level is appointed with engineered oak flooring. Reportedly, architect Paul McCleary reveals initial intentions to include four bedrooms, a concept ultimately withdrawn due to the complex configurations, opting for three instead. The result is an outstanding top floor featuring three individual bedrooms, each furnished with a private bathroom and sweeping views over Hudson Park, reaching as far as the elegant structures of Monkstown and Dún Laoghaire in the backdrop.
The principal bedroom is situated at the corridor’s end and offers panoramic sights of the park and broader areas of south Dublin via the corner windows. All wardrobes have been handcrafted by Michael Farrell, accompanied by a vanity unit in the bedroom, and the accommodations further include a walk-in wardrobe and a private bathroom.
The intermediate bedroom features floor-to-ceiling windows, one leading to a charming Juliet balcony, while the final room echoes the same window style, a substantial wardrobe arrangement, and a private bathroom adorned in wood-effect tiling.
Described as a ‘turnkey’ home, this space is ready to welcome newcomers with everything pre-arranged. It’s surrounded by a pristine garden guaranteeing seclusion and privacy, yet effortlessly offers locations for social gatherings. As expected, this impeccable, contemporary residence is already attracting considerable interest from affluent potential buyers seeking a chic, fuss-free abode.
Spencer Villas’ location just off Adelaide Road offers easy access to the nearby Glenageary Dart station and The Metals, which provide connections to the neighbourhoods of Dalkey, Dún Laoghaire, and the village of Glasthule.
